The Error of Nationalism
Dear Reader, I apologize for the long absence. My duties as a youth pastor has preoccupied me over the past couple of weeks. But, it is good to be back! And as I sit here sipping on a cup of coffee and typing on my keyboard, I realize what weekend it is. That is, the…
The Hypocrisy of the Human Heart
In last week’s article, we began to touch on human nature. Yet, with a topic as nuanced as the human condition, it becomes necessary to spend more time in examination than a surface diagnosis of humanity could provide. Last week we discussed how man does not naturally turn toward God; this week we look to…
Christ’s Definite Atonement
I once read a man’s illustration on atonement regarding his wife’s love of dark chocolate. The man’s wife loved expensive, dark chocolate. She did not want the processed milk chocolate that is made in factories, trucked around the United States, and sits on grocery store shelves for weeks. No, she liked the good stuff. And…
The Foolishness of Man
It is an obvious truth to anyone that has even a remotely acute sense of perception that we live in an increasingly technological world. The last century has seen more rapid advancement with regard to technology than all of the previous eras of human history combined. Such a swift expansion did not just affect one…

Growing up, I was fascinated with western movies.

Perhaps no movie star is more well-known for starring in westerns than John Wayne. A “tough guy” to the…
Soli Deo Gloria
Dear Readers, You may have noticed something about me. I tend to say “Soli Deo Gloria” a lot. Each time I post a blog, I end it with that statement. Each time I post on the FaceBook page, my post ends with that statement. When I write emails, instead of ending with “sincerely” or “thank…
He’s Good, I Tell You
As I was reading a book on the Watergate Scandal for my American History II class, I realized what day it is: It is “Good Friday” readers. So, I felt compelled to write a blog post describing why today is, in fact, a good day. Good Friday is supposedly the day, 3 days before His…
Seeing Sin How God Sees It
During the Fall of 2018, I heard a prayer that I think about daily. I was in a discipleship group with some of my friends and we went around the room and shared prayer requests. One of my friends explained that his prayer request was this: “Pray that I can see sin the way God…
If I Perish, I Perish.
Dear Reader, The year is 1985. A boxing exhibition is taking place in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel. In one corner, stands Apollo Creed, a heavyweight world champion.
